After1158, Raymond Béranger, King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona, gave the town of Sainte-Eulalie, and the surrounding area (the "Larzac") to Élie de Monbrun. Soon afterwards the Templers fortified the area from their new Commandery at Sainte-Eulalie.
Their properties passed to the Hospitallers in 1312. The present ramparts were built between 1442 and 1450. The town and Commandery was originally called Sainte-Eulalie-du-Larzac, but in 1889, it was renamed Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon, The inhabitants are officially called Saint-Eulaliens, but in Occitan they are still called Cristoulis, a reference to the town's past as the home to the Soldiers of Christ (Templars, then Hospitallers)
